For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of minutes
y: final temperature
We write then the equation that models the problem:
For y = 20 we have:
Clearing x:
Answer:
The temperature of the water will be 20 degree celcius after 150 minutes
The correct answer is B)y=2x-6
The three slices are each approximately 1/9 pound in weight, and, since 2/9 is less than 1/4, he can eat 2 whole slices and be okay. If he wants to eat partial slices, then he could eat 2 1/4 slices, as each slice weighs 4/36 pounds, so 2 slices would equal 8/36 pounds, leaving 1/36 pound left over in his diet, which is a quarter of the third slice.
2.25
Since 3 squared is 9 and 4 squared is 16, the square root of 13 will fall somewhere between 3 and 4
